" In 1994 , he ( Dorian ) was admittedly not at his best , but he was still the best bodybuilder onstage that day. No one not even runner-up Shawn Ray,disagreed with that stance on the night of Yates' threepeat. "

Dorian was a bigger version of what he's been. I'm not a fan in the sense that his physique is something I aspire to attain. Dorian is in his own class and in his own little world. For that reason, there's nobody they can compare like-to-like with Dorian. They can only bring forward a different package.

I'm trying to go to bat for Shawn. I'm just saying that it's not like the pages for a Flex article are chipped in stone like Moses' tablets. It's very easy to re-write something, or just change a word or two here and there. It's a possibility, and maybe Shawn could (has?) come on here to clarify. Or, he may very well have said it and that was his feelings that night, and after reviewing photos changed his mind. Flex did this in 99, after losing to Coleman. Flex did the "shun" where he turned his back to the crowd because he really felt that he should have placed ahead of Ronnie that night. For the next issue or two of FLEX the magazine, Flex (the bber) said he was pissed. Then in the next issue, Flex (again, the BBer) said he reviewed the photos and felt that Ronnie did deserve the win.
